We were given the best seat in the house, which was a bay window with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. Our waitress was very friendly and also joined us for conversation around the fire. She knew everything and ingredients on the menu, which answered many of our 5 course meal questions. After we finished our glasses, we were escorted to the table where we enjoyed a meal that was fresh with locally grown ingredients. Each dish complimented the next and paired well with the accompanied drinks. The dessert was a delightful chocolate finish to a meal well prepared. If I am in Zermatt again, all make sure to add this place to my list.

Michelin one star and well deserved…read more Note: This restaurant shares the same name as the hotel it is located in. Casual and welcoming. The crackling fire in the fireplace sets the mood. Like all Michelin star fine dining restaurants, this is all about sensory dining on a menu designed to focus on the flavor and ingredients of the region. Modernist cuisine plays nicely with the traditional. Note: Prefix menus include a full vegetarian option. Any item can be ordered ala carte as well. Exceptional amuse course in three bites teases you with the taste of mountain herbs to cheese, to pickles and breads. Menu descriptions are deceivingly simple guaranteeing a surprise as each dish is delivered and tasted. The "Risotto"; mushrooms, seven mountain herbs and the incredibly creamy, aged Acquerello rice (gratis from the chef), excellent. Vibrant green in color, mounted with Swiss butter to finish. Very creamy, exploding with familiar and new flavors including an pronounced herb similar in aroma to the original Ricola. Baby mushrooms sautéed in rich butter and aggressively seasoned in contrast to raw sliced white mushrooms adorn the rice. The earthiness of the raw mushrooms and it's lack of richness adds contrast. Such a simple but rich and delicious dish. "Edible Crab", a trio of fresh picked and simply formed rounds of crab topped by mysterious pickled this and that in an intensely flavored soup of green beans and zesty lemon finished with drops of citrus oil. The pleasing medicinal notes of the pickles serve to smooth the briny, oceanic flavor of the crab. So many foreign flavors that blend beautifully together. Outstanding. "Green Beans" - the essence of a bean. The highly concentrated puree with beans in various states of being cooked or pickled. Tomato adds bright acidity to the refreshing, intriguing "soup". Escalope (Venison loin), amazing. Simply seasoned with salt and cooked rare, excellent. Gamey in all the right ways. Extremely tender, dense, juicy and flavorful. It pairs well with the tart mountain cranberry sauce that heightens the pleasing metallic notes and a uber rich butter poached king oyster mushroom that brings meaty decadence. Finally the wiener schnitzel, done the way it should be. Very thin slices of tender veal surrounded by a golden brown, fluffy crust oozing with rich butter flavor. Impressive in its utter simplicity. Petit fours and assortment of incredible Swiss chocolate round out the meal. Exceptionally friendly service lacking any stuffiness. Extremely well chosen wine list focuses on the wines of the country. An excellent meal that showcases the region and what Swiss food can be elevated to.

AMAZING PLACE!!! We stayed here in June for several days and…read morethe service was wonderful! Everyone working at this hotel is very nice and helpful, everyone from the front desk to the restaurant made us feel at home. Every day of our stay started with a wonderful breakfast experience, besides the exceptional quality of the food, the people working in the restaurant took good care of us, especially Angelo, always with a big smile providing the best service anyone can ask for! As we extended our stay, and the hotel was fully booked for a big group for our last night, the ladies working at front desk went above and beyond to make a room available for me at their sister hotel a few blocks away. I was very impressed with their dedication to solve my problem providing the best service possible. I'm sorry I can't remember their names... I'll definitely be back!!!

The Ice complex is located on the upper floor of the Zermatt-Furi gondola terminus and the cable car to Klein Matterhorn, at an altitude of 9,640 feet. The view from the restaurant is virtually unparalleled on the planet. Surrounded by a 360-degree view of the Matterhorn, Klein Matterhorn, the Theodul Glacier and pass into Italy, as well as views of the Gornergrat and the Gorner Glacier, it is a picture-taker's paradise. 24 peaks over 4,000 meters surround the place, virtually the highest peaks in the Alps. You don't have to be a skier/boarder to get there, as there are many tourists that frequent Trockener Steg and some choose to remain at a lower altitude than the lung-challenging 13,000 feet in Klein Matterhorn. The Ice complex has all, a cafeteria, a sit-down restaurant, and a bar. The food is modern European. Superb pastas and Swiss delicacies such as Rosti and Schnitzel. Excellent pastries - but please beware if you're lactose intolerant (like me) if you order Strudel, make sure you tell the waiter to skip the milk sauce or else you'll have your strudel coated with heavy cream sauce. Like most places in Zermatt, it definitely costs extra. But considering the view, the ambiance, and the experience, it is worth it. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, and congenial customers that are usually finding hard to eat because their jaws are dropped from the spectacular beauty of the entire area.

Wonderful food and spectacular views…read more We first chose this restaurant the evening we arrived in Lugano because it was within the Hotel Villa Sassa where we were staying. Then we discovered that it was a favorite of a friend who is a Lugano resident, and she joined us for dinner. The food was wonderful and the views were spectacular. We ended up eating here two of the three nights we were in Lugano. As others observed, the menu isn't extensive, but that is often a good sign that what is served is fresh and well prepared. A pea soup was spectacular, and the seafood was wonderful. Service was very attentive and professional. Our friend rates this one of the best restaurants in Lugano.
